During his last semester, he and his cohort developed the curriculum for Ignite Innovation, a free workshop that kickstarted freshmen students' college careers with exposure to the entrepreneur’s mindset, machine and electronics shop training, and connections to campus leaders in the Missouri S&amp;amp;T innovation environment. The students learned design thinking methodology, business models, undergraduate research opportunities, and were introduced to the rich student design team ecosystem on which S&amp;amp;T places great pride. Finally, the course offered safety training for students interested in joining design teams - a credit that funneled directly into satisfying experiential learning requirements required for graduation from S&amp;amp;T.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

He was assigned to Naval Facilities Engineering Command, Marianas as a Construction Manager for the Public Works Department of Naval Base Guam where he has managed over $200M in military construction projects. His customers included Naval Hospital Guam, Submarine Squadron 15, the Guam Army National Guard and many others.

He has led numerous volunteer community outreach projects including home building events, recruitment events, a veterans cemetery restoration, and infrastructure repair projects as part of Guam’s Island-wide Beautification Task Force. Eric also helped spearhead a Fund Drive that raised $10,000 for the American Red Cross to support recent super-typhoon relief efforts in Guam and the Northern Marianas Island.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Significant improvement is possible in the areas of student discovery of innovation and entrepreneurship, the facilitation of creative thinking and experimenting with potential entrepreneurial endeavors, and the pursuit and actuallization of a real endeavor. Existing and proposed programs for support these areas for students are presented below.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Lever 1.1 of the university's strategic plan states that the university shall &amp;quot;require all undergraduate students to participate in some significant experiential learning activity before they graduate&amp;quot;. These experiential learning activities have played a critical role in developing innovation and entrepreneurship skills in students (the second step, &amp;quot;Learn&amp;quot;, in the landscape canvas presented below).&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Of the university's over 6000 undergraduates, over 800 students participated in at least one of the Student Design and Experiential Learning Center's (SDELC) fourteen student design teams in the last year. Student design teams have provided undergraduate students with opportunity to apply skills to solve real-world problems in a competitive environment. The teams are independently managed by the students, who conduct the majority of the adminstrative, business, PR, fundraising, engineering, manufacturing, and management activities of the team. The SDELC provides students with extensive 24/7 access to a machine shop, design studio, electronics lab, composites lab, welding equipment, and general fabrication space, all for design team activities. The challenging and independent nature of the design teams has foster a culture of creativity and innovation among the participating students (whether or not they realize it). Currently, the SDELC supports the following 14 teams:&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The Technical Innovators and Entrepreneurs Society (TIES) is Missouri S&amp;amp;T's student entrepreneurship club. TIES seeks to build a community of student entrepreneurs, support them through networking and physical resources, and introduce new students to the concepts of innovation and entrepreneurship. Traditionally this has been accomplished by hosting events such as hackathons and pitch competitions open to the general student population. Additionally, TIES members have access to resources such as 3D printers for prototyping their ideas.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The events will be open to the public and host a variety of successful entrepreneurs, VCs, NGOs and non-profits, and other startup founders, many of whom are S&amp;amp;T alumni. The event seeks to both introduce innovation and entrepreneurship to students, and inspire them to pursue their desire to learn more.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

These entities are organized into five phases of the pursuit of these activities: ''Discovery, Learning, Experiment, Pursue, and Spin-Out''. It is clear that S&amp;amp;T's experiential learning activities along with an array of I&amp;amp;E themed courses have led to a mature learning phase, and St. Louis's expanding ecosystem has created strong opportunities for spinning-out new startups. All five categories can be improved and refined in their options, but S&amp;amp;T could stand to improve the most in the areas of &amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family: Arial; font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;discovering &amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;innovation and entrepreneurship, facilitating the &amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family: Arial; font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;experimentation &amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;of potential startup problem domains and solutions, and the active &amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family: Arial; font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;pursuit &amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;and execution of startup activities in the university context.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;= Overview =&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Missouri S&amp;amp;T's strength in the experiential learning and research activities of its STEM programs gives it huge potential for supporting innovation and entrepreneurship activities. Analysis of S&amp;amp;T's Spring 2015 landscape canvas has demonstrated its strengths in the area of building technical skills for student innovation and excellent support for spinning-out startups thanks to the growing St. Louis entrepreneurship ecosystem.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
= Strategy #1: Expose Students to Innovation and Entrepreneurship and Inspire them to Learn More =&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The first step to a student's education in innovation and entrepreneurship is to introduce them to these ideas and encourage them to learn more. Programs may facilitate this discovery process.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Tactic #1: Create an Entrepreneur Speaker Series to Educate and Inspire ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Description:'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Missouri S&amp;amp;T's campus has the potential to support a culture of innovation and entrepreneurship; however, the lack of student and faculty exposure to such thoughts and attitudes prevents its growth. The creation of a startup speaker series hosting entrepreneurs, investors, founders of social benefit organizations, entrepreneurship support organizations, and others seeks to spark conversations among students and faculty about innovation and entrepreneurship.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;S&amp;amp;T's entrepreneurship club, TIES, will host the &amp;quot;Spark Speaker Series&amp;quot; for the first time in the Spring 2015 semester. At this time eight speakers have been confirmed, with more in the works. This is enough to host a speaker at least every other week, with the ultimate goal being to host one every week. Ultimately, it is desirable to further expand the series into a 1 credit-hour seminar that any student could enroll in.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Team Lead:''' Josh Jetter&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Milestones:'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Phase 1: Bi-weekly or weekly speaker series hosted by TIES. Run through the Spring 2015 semester. Expand to reach at least 50 students per event.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Phase 2: Transition into a 1 credit-hour seminar available to all students. Enroll at least 100 students in the Fall 2015 offering of the class.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Tactic #2: Create a 1000 Pitches Style Event to Engage Students ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Description:'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Expose and engage students of all backgrounds in the creativity and innovation process. Have them craft a simple pitch about their idea and then feed them into more developed innovation and entrepreneurship programs. This would be an instance of&amp;amp;nbsp;[https://1000pitches.com/ this program].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Team Lead:'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
None at this time (this is a future program).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Milestones:'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fall 2015: Introduce program, reach at least 100 students&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Spring 2016: Expand program to at least 250 students&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fall 2016: Engage at least 500 students&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Tactic #3: Increase Visibility of Innovation and Entrepreneurship Activities ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Description:'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An important part of facilitating the growth of any movement is to celebrate its successes. Increasing the visibility of all activities related to innovation and entrepreneurship helps to establish a common mindset and culture.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is a first step to establishing early engagement with students, faculty, administration, alumni, and industry partners. Execution of this would center around producing PR materials such as blog posts, press releases, news articles, newsletters, etc. covering successes from activities such as the Innovation Fellows programs, the Pathways to Innovation program, research commercialization, I-Corps related activities, student and/or alumni run startups, and others.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ideally hosting these materials on a website or mobile application.&amp;amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Team Lead:'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tim Buesking&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Milestones:'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Step 1: Collect all pertinent and available resources on and available to campus such as scholarships, application deadlines, activities and any other relevant information for Innovation and Entrepreneurship.&amp;amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Step 2: &amp;amp;nbsp;Meet with IT and administration to try convince them to host the website on the university website.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Step 3: Develop mobile application and website containing the information collected in Step 1.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Step 4: Maintain and regularly update the apps.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Tactic #4: Create I&amp;amp;E Opening Week Workshop&amp;amp;nbsp; ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Description:'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Research has revealed Missouri S&amp;amp;T has numerous I&amp;amp;E resources, but the engagement of the right students interested in I&amp;amp;E takes longer than it should. The need to quickly connect and inform students about I&amp;amp;E resources at S&amp;amp;T spurred the mission of creating an I&amp;amp;E centered workshop.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Missouri S&amp;amp;T supports incoming freshmen through a week-long orientation program called Opening Week before fall semester classes begin. Opening Week is designed to help in the three-pronged attack of orientation, transition, and retention of new students. Each student's Opening Week is structured around an academic workshop like math review or chemistry lab safety, or other non-academic workshops like Leadership or financial literacy. The students pick a workshop from the ~6 options available in the months leading up to Opening Week at their initial Orientation (PRO) Day. The introduction of a new I&amp;amp;E centered workshop will quickly bridge the gap between students and resources for them, inroduce like-minded students to each other, and will build up a pool of I&amp;amp;E champions on campus.&amp;amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Team Leads:'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cori Hatley &amp;amp; Eric Fallon&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Milestones:'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fall 2015: Develop general structure &amp;amp; curriculum to be approved by Director of New Student Programs by November, recruit future project stakeholders, create branding efforts to be implemented primarily in the spring&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Spring 2016: Refine workshop structure, decide on leaders of workshop who will execute mission in August, recruit incoming freshmen to sign up for workshop through PRO days&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fall 2016: Implement workshop during 2016 Opening Week, collect student feedback, reassess and adjust for future implementation&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
= Strategy #2: Establish Opportunities to Build Skills in Entrepreneurship, Innovation, and Creativity =&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Missouri S&amp;amp;T has extensive opportunities to build technology, engineering, and limited business skills through experiential learning programs such as its student design teams. Opportunities dedicated specificially to building the &amp;quot;soft skills&amp;quot; critical to the execution of all real-world ventures are more lacking. Key areas that need to be addressed in the context of innovation and entrepreneurship include communications, marketing, and branding; customer discovery and lean startup methodologies; creative problem solving and innovationg methods; and many others. In addition to be directly applicable to innovation and entrepreneurship, these skills also make students highly desirable employees for existing companies.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Tactic #1: Creation of a Technology Innovation and Entrepreneurship Minor ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Description:'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Students have limited opportunities to build skills important to innovation and entrepreneurship in the academic setting. The creation of a Technology Innovation and Entrepreneurship minor would allow students of all degree programs to build these skills. Proposed courses that would count towards the minor (some existing and some new; not all required to obtain minor):&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Domain Exploration and Innovation Methods''' -&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Explore the different methods and concepts of problem definition and ideation. Material will focus on the first step of innovation and encourages students to adopt a mindset that looks for solvable problems.&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Skill Development for Entrepreneurs''' -&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;A little bit of everything - being a founder requires wearing many hats, often at the same time. This course will offer an intensive introduction to many of the key skills you will need to understand including: programming, project management, CAD, machining, Circuit Board Design, asking questions, negotiation, listening, and more.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Advanced Domain Exploration and Innovation Methods''' -&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Study the second and third steps of innovation: blueprinting and assessing ideas. Students will explore 5-10 disparate domains, look for solvable problems, and create and assess solutions. Entering the class with a 'founding team' of 2-5 other students is recommended.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Interpersonal Dynamics&amp;amp;nbsp;'''-&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Explore the boundaries of group dynamics, methods of creating lasting relationships, and the dynamics of communication in various situations.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Lean LaunchPad and Agile Methods''' -&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Study agile methods of business creation through the Lean Launchpad model. Entrance into the class requires a 'founding team' of 2-5 students prepared to tackle a problem and create a company. Work will require intensive customer interviews and &amp;quot;getting out of the classroom&amp;quot; to learn.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Technical Entrepreneur Development''' -&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Offers an opportunity for students to further engage the Lean Launchpad model and develop their business model.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Mentoring Technical Innovation''' -&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;True understanding comes when you can teach something yourself. Mentor a team through Lean Launchpad &amp;amp; Agile Methods, and perfect your knowledge of agile project management.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Team Lead:&amp;amp;nbsp;'''Dr. Bonnie Bachmann and Ian Lee&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Milestones:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Students are currently taking these courses and are on target to receive the first minor by 2016.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Tactic #2: Encourage Participation in StartUp Weekends, Hackathons, and Similar Activities ==&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Milestones:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
= Strategy #3: Provide Students with Opportunities to Experiment and Test New Ideas =&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once students have an interest in innovation and have built the necessary skills, it is important to allow them experiment with and test out their new ideas. Programs and resources should facilitate their creative problem solving processes, customer discover, and prototype development.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Tactic #1: Create a Student Creativity/Ideation/Maker Space ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Description:'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once students have built skills and interest in innovation and entrepreneurship, it is necessary to facilitate the growth of their ideas, and assist them in establishing product-market fit. A creativity, ideation, and maker space provides students with a location to work with one another to identify, develop, and prototype innovative solutions to real-world problems. This is an important prerequisite before the formation and execution of a formal commercial or not-for-profit venture.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At this point, the following requirements have been identified for the space:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Student accessible 24/7&lt;br /&gt;
*In a central, highly visible location on campus&lt;br /&gt;
*Infrastructure in place for facilitating creative problem solving and group conversation&lt;br /&gt;
**Whiteboards and/or Flipcharts&lt;br /&gt;
**Multimedia equipment (sound, projector/TV, etc.)&lt;br /&gt;
**Adaptable furniture (rearrangeable seating and tables)&lt;br /&gt;
*Infrastructure in place for basic prototyping&lt;br /&gt;
**3D printer&lt;br /&gt;
**3D scanner&lt;br /&gt;
*Presence of an &amp;quot;idea wall&amp;quot; for engaging public in creativity and innovation&lt;br /&gt;
*TV screen with calendar of upcoming I&amp;amp;E events&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Josh Jetter, Ian Lee, Cori Hatley, Mary Paleo&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Milestones:'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Phase 1: Create a space immediately by renovating an existing space&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''End of February''': Identify a viable location for space&lt;br /&gt;
*'''End of March''': Finish raising funds and have complete design/definition of this iteration of the space&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;Phase 2: Create a permanent space&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;= Overview =&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Missouri S&amp;amp;T's strength in the experiential learning and research activities of its STEM programs gives it huge potential for supporting innovation and entrepreneurship activities. Analysis of S&amp;amp;T's Spring 2015 landscape canvas has demonstrated its strengths in the area of building technical skills for student innovation and excellent support for spinning-out startups thanks to the growing St. Louis entrepreneurship ecosystem.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
= Strategy #1: Expose Students to Innovation and Entrepreneurship and Inspire them to Learn More =&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The first step to a student's education in innovation and entrepreneurship is to introduce them to these ideas and encourage them to learn more. Programs may facilitate this discovery process.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Tactic #1: Create an Entrepreneur Speaker Series to Educate and Inspire ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Description:'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Missouri S&amp;amp;T's campus has the potential to support a culture of innovation and entrepreneurship; however, the lack of student and faculty exposure to such thoughts and attitudes prevents its growth. The creation of a startup speaker series hosting entrepreneurs, investors, founders of social benefit organizations, entrepreneurship support organizations, and others seeks to spark conversations among students and faculty about innovation and entrepreneurship.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;S&amp;amp;T's entrepreneurship club, TIES, will host the &amp;quot;Spark Speaker Series&amp;quot; for the first time in the Spring 2015 semester. At this time eight speakers have been confirmed, with more in the works. This is enough to host a speaker at least every other week, with the ultimate goal being to host one every week. Ultimately, it is desirable to further expand the series into a 1 credit-hour seminar that any student could enroll in.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Team Lead:''' Josh Jetter&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Milestones:'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Phase 1: Bi-weekly or weekly speaker series hosted by TIES. Run through the Spring 2015 semester. Expand to reach at least 50 students per event.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Phase 2: Transition into a 1 credit-hour seminar available to all students. Enroll at least 100 students in the Fall 2015 offering of the class.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Tactic #2: Create a 1000 Pitches Style Event to Engage Students ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Description:'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Expose and engage students of all backgrounds in the creativity and innovation process. Have them craft a simple pitch about their idea and then feed them into more developed innovation and entrepreneurship programs. This would be an instance of&amp;amp;nbsp;[https://1000pitches.com/ this program].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Team Lead:'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
None at this time (this is a future program).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Milestones:'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fall 2015: Introduce program, reach at least 100 students&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Spring 2016: Expand program to at least 250 students&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fall 2016: Engage at least 500 students&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Tactic #3: Increase Visibility of Innovation and Entrepreneurship Activities ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Description:'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An important part of facilitating the growth of any movement is to celebrate its successes. Increasing the visibility of all activities related to innovation and entrepreneurship helps to establish a common mindset and culture.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is a first step to establishing early engagement with students, faculty, administration, alumni, and industry partners. Execution of this would center around producing PR materials such as blog posts, press releases, news articles, newsletters, etc. covering successes from activities such as the Innovation Fellows programs, the Pathways to Innovation program, research commercialization, I-Corps related activities, student and/or alumni run startups, and others.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ideally hosting these materials on a website or mobile application.&amp;amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Team Lead:'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tim Buesking&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Milestones:'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Step 1: Collect all pertinent and available resources on and available to campus such as scholarships, application deadlines, activities and any other relevant information for Innovation and Entrepreneurship.&amp;amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Step 2: &amp;amp;nbsp;Meet with IT and administration to try convince them to host the website on the university website.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Step 3: Develop mobile application and website containing the information collected in Step 1.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Step 4: Maintain and regularly update the apps.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Tactic #4: Create I&amp;amp;E Opening Week Workshop&amp;amp;nbsp; ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Description:'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Research has revealed Missouri S&amp;amp;T has numerous I&amp;amp;E resources, but the engagement of the right students interested in I&amp;amp;E takes longer than it should. The need to connect students in a sooner and more informed manner has spurred the mission of creating an I&amp;amp;E centered workshop.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Missouri S&amp;amp;T supports incoming freshman through an extensive week-long orientation program called Opening Week. Opening Week is designed to primarily orient new freshman, but ultimately help in the three-pronged attack of orientation, transition, and retention. The week is structured around academic workshops, so the mission is to develop a new I&amp;amp;E centered workshop that will quickly bridge the gap between students and campus resources.&amp;amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Team Leads:'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cori Hatley &amp;amp; Eric Fallon&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Milestones:'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fall 2015: Develop general structure &amp;amp; curriculum to be approved by Director of New Student Programs by November, recruit future project stakeholders, create branding efforts to be implemented primarily in the spring&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Spring 2016: Refine workshop structure, decide on leaders of workshop who will execute mission in August, recruit incoming freshmen to sign up for workshop through PRO days&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fall 2016: Implement workshop during 2016 Opening Week, collect student feedback, reassess and adjust for future implementation&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
= Strategy #2: Establish Opportunities to Build Skills in Entrepreneurship, Innovation, and Creativity =&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Missouri S&amp;amp;T has extensive opportunities to build technology, engineering, and limited business skills through experiential learning programs such as its student design teams. Opportunities dedicated specificially to building the &amp;quot;soft skills&amp;quot; critical to the execution of all real-world ventures are more lacking. Key areas that need to be addressed in the context of innovation and entrepreneurship include communications, marketing, and branding; customer discovery and lean startup methodologies; creative problem solving and innovationg methods; and many others. In addition to be directly applicable to innovation and entrepreneurship, these skills also make students highly desirable employees for existing companies.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Tactic #1: Creation of a Technology Innovation and Entrepreneurship Minor ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Description:'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Students have limited opportunities to build skills important to innovation and entrepreneurship in the academic setting. The creation of a Technology Innovation and Entrepreneurship minor would allow students of all degree programs to build these skills. Proposed courses that would count towards the minor (some existing and some new; not all required to obtain minor):&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Domain Exploration and Innovation Methods''' -&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Explore the different methods and concepts of problem definition and ideation. Material will focus on the first step of innovation and encourages students to adopt a mindset that looks for solvable problems.&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Skill Development for Entrepreneurs''' -&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;A little bit of everything - being a founder requires wearing many hats, often at the same time. This course will offer an intensive introduction to many of the key skills you will need to understand including: programming, project management, CAD, machining, Circuit Board Design, asking questions, negotiation, listening, and more.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Advanced Domain Exploration and Innovation Methods''' -&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Study the second and third steps of innovation: blueprinting and assessing ideas. Students will explore 5-10 disparate domains, look for solvable problems, and create and assess solutions. Entering the class with a 'founding team' of 2-5 other students is recommended.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Interpersonal Dynamics&amp;amp;nbsp;'''-&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Explore the boundaries of group dynamics, methods of creating lasting relationships, and the dynamics of communication in various situations.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Lean LaunchPad and Agile Methods''' -&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Study agile methods of business creation through the Lean Launchpad model. Entrance into the class requires a 'founding team' of 2-5 students prepared to tackle a problem and create a company. Work will require intensive customer interviews and &amp;quot;getting out of the classroom&amp;quot; to learn.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Technical Entrepreneur Development''' -&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Offers an opportunity for students to further engage the Lean Launchpad model and develop their business model.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Mentoring Technical Innovation''' -&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;True understanding comes when you can teach something yourself. Mentor a team through Lean Launchpad &amp;amp; Agile Methods, and perfect your knowledge of agile project management.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Milestones:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Students are currently taking these courses and are on target to receive the first minor by 2016.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Milestones:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
= Strategy #3: Provide Students with Opportunities to Experiment and Test New Ideas =&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once students have an interest in innovation and have built the necessary skills, it is important to allow them experiment with and test out their new ideas. Programs and resources should facilitate their creative problem solving processes, customer discover, and prototype development.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Tactic #1: Create a Student Creativity/Ideation/Maker Space ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Description:'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once students have built skills and interest in innovation and entrepreneurship, it is necessary to facilitate the growth of their ideas, and assist them in establishing product-market fit. A creativity, ideation, and maker space provides students with a location to work with one another to identify, develop, and prototype innovative solutions to real-world problems. This is an important prerequisite before the formation and execution of a formal commercial or not-for-profit venture.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At this point, the following requirements have been identified for the space:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Student accessible 24/7&lt;br /&gt;
*In a central, highly visible location on campus&lt;br /&gt;
*Infrastructure in place for facilitating creative problem solving and group conversation&lt;br /&gt;
**Whiteboards and/or Flipcharts&lt;br /&gt;
**Multimedia equipment (sound, projector/TV, etc.)&lt;br /&gt;
**Adaptable furniture (rearrangeable seating and tables)&lt;br /&gt;
*Infrastructure in place for basic prototyping&lt;br /&gt;
**3D printer&lt;br /&gt;
**3D scanner&lt;br /&gt;
*Presence of an &amp;quot;idea wall&amp;quot; for engaging public in creativity and innovation&lt;br /&gt;
*TV screen with calendar of upcoming I&amp;amp;E events&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Significant improvement is possible in the areas of student discovery of innovation and entrepreneurship, the facilitation of creative thinking and experimenting with potential entrepreneurial endeavors, and the pursuit and actuallization of a real endeavor. Existing and proposed programs for support these areas for students are presented below.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Lever 1.1 of the university's strategic plan states that the university shall &amp;quot;require all undergraduate students to participate in some significant experiential learning activity before they graduate&amp;quot;. These experiential learning activities have played a critical role in developing innovation and entrepreneurship skills in students (the second step, &amp;quot;Learn&amp;quot;, in the landscape canvas presented below).&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Of the university's over 6000 undergraduates, over 800 students participated in at least one of the Student Design and Experiential Learning Center's (SDELC) fourteen student design teams in the last year. Student design teams have provided undergraduate students with opportunity to apply skills to solve real-world problems in a competitive environment. The teams are independently managed by the students, who conduct the majority of the adminstrative, business, PR, fundraising, engineering, manufacturing, and management activities of the team. The SDELC provides students with extensive 24/7 access to a machine shop, design studio, electronics lab, composites lab, welding equipment, and general fabrication space, all for design team activities. The challenging and independent nature of the design teams has foster a culture of creativity and innovation among the participating students (whether or not they realize it). Currently, the SDELC supports the following 14 teams:&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The Technical Innovators and Entrepreneurs Society (TIES) is Missouri S&amp;amp;T's student entrepreneurship club. TIES seeks to build a community of student entrepreneurs, support them through networking and physical resources, and introduce new students to the concepts of innovation and entrepreneurship. Traditionally this has been accomplished by hosting events such as hackathons and pitch competitions open to the general student population. Additionally, TIES members have access to resources such as 3D printers for prototyping their ideas.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The events will be open to the public and host a variety of successful entrepreneurs, VCs, NGOs and non-profits, and other startup founders, many of whom are S&amp;amp;T alumni. The event seeks to both introduce innovation and entrepreneurship to students, and inspire them to pursue their desire to learn more.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The majority of the university's advancement efforts are supported by industry collaborators who assist the university in identifying the real-world needs of its students and faculty. Extensive collaboration exists in the university's numerous research centers and labs, student design and research activities, and student career development activities. These extensive university-industry collaborations support the extensive technology licensing activities described in the previous section.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The creation of numerous business incubators and accelerators (T-REX, CIC, Cortex, etc.), funding sources (Arch Grants, Capital Innovators, Cultivation Capital, etc.), mentoring groups (ITEN, etc.), and other resources has lead to the growth of hundreds of new startups in the past few years.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

It is clear that S&amp;amp;T's experiential learning activities along with an array of I&amp;amp;E themed courses have led to a mature learning phase, and St. Louis's expanding ecosystem has created strong opportunities for spinning-out new startups.

Significant improvement is possible in the areas of student discovery of innovation and entrepreneurship, the facilitation of creative thinking and experimenting with potential entrepreneurial endeavors, and the pursuit and actuallization of a real endeavor. Existing and proposed programs for support these areas for students are presented below.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Lever 1.1 of the university's strategic plan states that the university shall &amp;quot;require all undergraduate students to participate in some significant experiential learning activity before they graduate&amp;quot;. These experiential learning activities have played a critical role in developing innovation and entrepreneurship skills in students (the second step, &amp;quot;Learn&amp;quot;, in the landscape canvas presented below).&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Of the university's over 6000 undergraduates, over 800 students participated in at least one of the Student Design and Experiential Learning Center's (SDELC) fourteen student design teams in the last year. Student design teams have provided undergraduate students with opportunity to apply skills to solve real-world problems in a competitive environment. The teams are independently managed by the students, who conduct the majority of the adminstrative, business, PR, fundraising, engineering, manufacturing, and management activities of the team. The SDELC provides students with extensive 24/7 access to a machine shop, design studio, electronics lab, composites lab, welding equipment, and general fabrication space, all for design team activities. The challenging and independent nature of the design teams has foster a culture of creativity and innovation among the participating students (whether or not they realize it). Currently, the SDELC supports the following 14 teams:&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The Technical Innovators and Entrepreneurs Society (TIES) is Missouri S&amp;amp;T's student entrepreneurship club. TIES seeks to build a community of student entrepreneurs, support them through networking and physical resources, and introduce new students to the concepts of innovation and entrepreneurship. Traditionally this has been accomplished by hosting events such as hackathons and pitch competitions open to the general student population. Additionally, TIES members have access to resources such as 3D printers for prototyping their ideas.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The events will be open to the public and host a variety of successful entrepreneurs, VCs, NGOs and non-profits, and other startup founders, many of whom are S&amp;amp;T alumni. The event seeks to both introduce innovation and entrepreneurship to students, and inspire them to pursue their desire to learn more.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The majority of the university's advancement efforts are supported by industry collaborators who assist the university in identifying the real-world needs of its students and faculty. Extensive collaboration exists in the university's numerous research centers and labs, student design and research activities, and student career development activities. These extensive university-industry collaborations support the extensive technology licensing activities described in the previous section.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The creation of numerous business incubators and accelerators (T-REX, CIC, Cortex, etc.), funding sources (Arch Grants, Capital Innovators, Cultivation Capital, etc.), mentoring groups (ITEN, etc.), and other resources has lead to the growth of hundreds of new startups in the past few years.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Significant improvement is possible in the areas of student discovery of innovation and entrepreneurship, the facilitation of creative thinking and experimenting with potential entrepreneurial endeavors, and the pursuit and actuallization of a real endeavor. Existing and proposed programs for support these areas for students are presented below.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Lever 1.1 of the university's strategic plan states that the university shall &amp;quot;require all undergraduate students to participate in some significant experiential learning activity before they graduate&amp;quot;. These experiential learning activities have played a critical role in developing innovation and entrepreneurship skills in students (the second step, &amp;quot;Learn&amp;quot;, in the landscape canvas presented below).&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Of the university's over 6000 undergraduates, over 800 students participated in at least one of the Student Design and Experiential Learning Center's (SDELC) fourteen student design teams in the last year. Student design teams have provided undergraduate students with opportunity to apply skills to solve real-world problems in a competitive environment. The teams are independently managed by the students, who conduct the majority of the adminstrative, business, PR, fundraising, engineering, manufacturing, and management activities of the team. The SDELC provides students with extensive 24/7 access to a machine shop, design studio, electronics lab, composites lab, welding equipment, and general fabrication space, all for design team activities. The challenging and independent nature of the design teams has foster a culture of creativity and innovation among the participating students (whether or not they realize it). Currently, the SDELC supports the following 14 teams:&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The Technical Innovators and Entrepreneurs Society (TIES) is Missouri S&amp;amp;T's student entrepreneurship club. TIES seeks to build a community of student entrepreneurs, support them through networking and physical resources, and introduce new students to the concepts of innovation and entrepreneurship. Traditionally this has been accomplished by hosting events such as hackathons and pitch competitions open to the general student population. Additionally, TIES members have access to resources such as 3D printers for prototyping their ideas.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The events will be open to the public and host a variety of successful entrepreneurs, VCs, NGOs and non-profits, and other startup founders, many of whom are S&amp;amp;T alumni. The event seeks to both introduce innovation and entrepreneurship to students, and inspire them to pursue their desire to learn more.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
